Some friends of mine were flown to Europe to film the rally for one of the drivers called Tourquenstein. Here is a lil clip http://www.torquenstein.net/movies/i...cumballers.wmv

It's around $44k ++

I was talking to this guy and I asked him, "I didn't see your car last year, any reason you didn't join?"

He's like, "We'll I just turned 21."




He sent the car from Seatle to SoCal to play.

Pretty much!


How much does it cost to participate?

The entry fee varies each year depending on the route, for example in 2008 the entry fee was $120,000 per car, with the route that started in San Francisco and finished in Beijing, including flying all 120 cars around the world. However, in 2009, the entry fee is reduced to $44,000 per car for two people, as the route is contained within the United States.
